Task History lists the actions run on your VPS, with their start time, end time and result. It's the first place to look when the server restarted or stopped and you don't know why.
How to open Task History
Step 1: Open your server's page.
Go to My servers and click Manage next to the server.
Step 2: Open Task History.
In the menu on the left, under Service Management, click Task History.
What the tasks mean
Start: the server was switched on.
Stop: the power was cut, as with the Stop button.
Shut Down VM: the operating system was shut down cleanly.
Resize: the size of the disk, memory or processor was set, for example after an upgrade.
VNC Proxy: noVNC Console was opened.
Destroy: the old system was removed during a reinstall.
A reinstall always shows as four tasks in a row: Stop, Destroy, Resize and Start. Destroy doesn't mean your server was deleted. It is the step that clears the old system before the new one is installed.
Status and search
OK in the Status column means the task finished. If a task shows another status and the server doesn't work as it should, open a ticket with the task's start time and description.
To find a task, type part of its description in the search box, for example resize. The controls at the bottom set how many tasks are shown per page.
Task History can't be edited or cleared.
